LED fogs are for 'show' only. For driving, they totally sux with maybe 1 lumen put onto the road

The reason I did not want to go with HID's is BC you have to take off the bumper to install. Did not want to do that or pay someone to do it. I had HID fogs on my 350 and loved them..but like these just as much....the HID low beam give me enough light output at night.

I'm always a fan of the SMT bulbs...I run them for my DRL...but sucks that its a P.I.T.A to install HID due to the bumper removal for the fogs...I thought they would be just as easy as the IS350...

I did not remove the bumper to install. Went through the front fender well. Very easy install

Not sure which fuse it is on the F...I have not looked at it yet. Did you install them or have someone else do it?
